Pretty good episode tonight although had Crabtree not been on the run, they got to the fact he went on the run like almost at the end of the show as the rest of it was his prior criminal history.
Also, does anyone know if there was anything significant said after the scroll update that Crabtree was released and now living in Jalisco, Mexico? My DVR cut off at the guy speaking (started show a few minutes late tonight).
I was thinking perhaps they would say something like even though he was captured please call our hotline if you feel you may have been victimized as well or something, but it doesn't look like they did that and we just have to hope we never hear from Crabtree again.

Hard to believe but after this week just three more episodes of this current season and only two more with fugitives not yet caught (now captured Matthew Dion is season finale). I also just realized the irony that this has been arguably The Hunt's most successful season yet with their first season on HLN and 16 episodes, yet their 2 definite direct captures and 2 somewhat direct captures actually happened during the first 8 episodes anyway. I still feel though that HLN although a lesser viewed network has been working out better because there's no interruptions from breaking news, more slots for reruns, and more episodes to showcase the fugitives. (thanks Trump! LOL)

Dawson profile was good. The mother of the victim should be ashamed of herself but I'm assuming she may have passed away by now. As John Walsh said about the victim's mother not believing her from the Victor Barnard case, the first thing a parent should say when told by a child they were molested is "I believe you."
I was still disappointed in the fact they didn't mention the photo was from 91 that Dawson sent to his family and also that he was spotted in Los Angeles a few years after his escape.
Kenneth Cofer I'm conflicted about- on one hand they were accurate and did prove that AMW did somewhat take liberties with their re-enactment- but on the other hand, it was too short imo and for some reason they didn't mention Cofer's possible involvement in David Whetstone's murder!
Basically, the argument was not as AMW described where Cofer said the country deserved but rather he said something about the U.S. funding the countries that attacked us. The AMW re-enactment had Cofer saying "this country got what was coming to them." It can still be argued that Cofer was still making anti-American sentiments, but the actual verbatim argument seemed to be slightly exaggerated on AMW.
They also did debate the controversy over whether what Cofer did constituted self-defense. Still, as John Walsh pointed out, defending yourself against an out-of-shape and in relatively poor health Vietnam veteran with a pistol with it's safety off is not exactly the best decision. Not to mention, Charlotte gives her side of the story in our thread on Cofer and says Larry was on the ground when he was shot (she also says Cofer did in fact make anti-American sentiments). Exactly what went down will need to be sorted out in court if Cofer is ever captured.
P.S. I realize sometimes I complain if a profile is too long but sometimes there's exceptions to a rule and a case deserves a longer profile than others.

Matthew Dion episode now listed as next week's episode instead of Mario Lozano/Donna Borup. Hopefully this just means they switched weeks to make Lozano/Borup the season finale (would make sense to have people still at large the season finale as opposed to someone already captured).

The profile on Leslie Dawson was good, except I feel so bad for the victim and her family that he wasn't profiled at least once during the AMW days, where he would have been more likely to become a direct capture. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI at least suggested the case to AMW back in the 1990s.
Kenneth Cofer's profile I agree was very different from the AMW profile. Maybe it's the directors but I wouldn't be surprised for Cofer's defense attorney to plea down to manslaughter if he is ever brought to court. Hopefully The Hunt didn't incorrectly portray what was described by the witnesses.

Hopefully The Hunt didn't incorrectly portray what was described by the witnesses. The Hunt portrayal is accurate in what some neighbors say, but Charlotte, who also appeared on the show, disputes the facts in our thread on Cofer. As John Walsh said, it almost doesn't matter anyway since the pistol had the safety off, but as far as what the charges and punishment would/should be, is a matter for the courts. I know no matter what it won't bring Larry back, but hopefully she'd have a sense of justice when all is said and done. (There's also the matter of David Whetstone, but at this moment of course we don't know if Cofer really had anything to do with his murder- just that he's a potential suspect). |

Also wanted to add while I'm sorry it wouldn't have happened sooner, The Hunt would make history if they captured Dawson as the coldest case solved by a John Walsh hosted show as he would have been on the run for 31 years and counting so far. The current record holder is Bruno Salgado from AMW at 27.9 years.

CNN now has previews for both Donna Borup and Mario Lozano up on website so seems official the tvguides got it wrong. Don't get why they listed the Dion episode as usually if there's a discrepancy it's them listing an old episode instead of the upcoming new episode, not another upcoming new episode. (I hope that made sense) www.cnn.com/2017/11/01/us/the-hunt-john-walsh-mario-albert-lozano-donna-borup/ |
